Unlockables and Secrets

This section collects the many Cheats, Easter Eggs, hidden references and messages, Unlockables and Secrets in Dead Space 3.

Hidden Message in Chapter Titles

During your playthrough of Dead Space 3, chapter names will come up briefly on your screen before fading away. Taking the first letter from each of those chapter titles reveals a secret message. It reads:

BROTHER MOONS ARE AWAKE

Here is an analysis of the message:

At the end of the game you actually destroy a moon so it would seem that this may alude to the fact that other infected moons are present in the galaxy.
Edit: in chapter (16/17, cant quite remember) there is a projector in a room that says that the moon of Tau Volantis is connected to several others (in the video it shows 4 others) that will be activated once the first is. So perhaps the sudo-activation of this first moon has activated the others? Who knows, all i can say is it's very interesting to think what will happen to the franchise in the future!

From Chapter 15 on, it is shown that each Convergence Event results in a new Brethren Moon which then becomes a transmitter for the Marker Signal and relays the signal to nearby Necromorphs, Markers, and other Brethren Moons to continue to spread the Marker Signal throughout the galaxy.Spoiler - Click to see/hide

The Foam Finger

The Foam Finger, also known as The Devil Horns, return in Dead Space 3 as the most powerful weapon in the game. It is a (mostly) one-shot kill weapon, with the main weapon being "Bang!" and the alt-fire being "Pew!" When reloading, Isaac will perform a "rocking out" animation, and a metal guitar riff will play.

The weapon is modifiable, with the option to add or drop the alt-fire to it.

To unlock The Devil Horns, you must first beat the main campaign. Then, you have to play over again with the New Game+ mode, but have difficulty set on "Classic." Once you beat Classic mode on New Game+, you should have the weapon!

Mjolnir (Thor's Hammer Gun)

In Dead Space 3 you can build a gun called Mjölnir. This is a reference to the God of Thunder Thor. A weapon born of Valhalla: an advanced Chain Lightning Gun and Hydraulic Hammer.
